ILA Cityof Department of Planning and Building Safety <br />Louisville 749 Main Street • Louisville CO 80027. 303.335.4592 • www.louisvilleco.gov <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />To: Business Retention and Development Committee <br />From: Department of Planning and Building Safety <br />Subject: Transportation Master Plan <br />Date: September 2, 2019 <br />Summary <br />In May 2018, the City of Louisville initiated a transportation master planning <br />process to develop a strategic vision for how the city can meet its current and <br />future transportation needs. The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) will serve as <br />a guiding document for improvements of local and regional transportation <br />systems. The final plan will serve as a road map for maintaining and improving <br />the transportation network over time, and will help guide strategic funding <br />investments to best meet transportation needs. The TMP will also improve <br />mobility and access in a way that is safe and convenient while minimizing auto <br />congestion and associated impacts, and recognize evolving technology and <br />future trends in transportation systems and service delivery. <br />The TMP process has spanned the course of a full year, and included significant <br />public input through City Council, City Boards and Commissions, public <br />engagement including online and in person events (public meetings, focus <br />groups, pop-up engagement opportunities, etc.). <br />At this time, staff and the City's consultant, TEI, are presenting the draft <br />Transportation Master Plan. The completed draft TMP brings together the <br />information presented to City Council to date, including the summary of trend <br />data and existing conditions, the defined TMP goals and community input, and <br />the proposed projects, programs and policies. Together these elements reflect <br />the range of transportation needs in our community and the City's plans to <br />address them. <br />The draft TMP includes an analysis of existing conditions and public feedback <br />and recommends policies, projects and programs. The types of projects <br />proposed include: <br />• Corridor Projects <br />• Underpasses <br />• At Grade Crossings <br />• Multi -Use Paths <br />• Bike Network <br />• Sidewalks <br />6 <br />
